Since its inception, CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology has held great potential to become the detector platform of choice for many high-performance imaging applications. These demanding applications require combinations of sensitivity, speed, dynamic range, resolution, and field of view that are unavailable from any other imaging technology.  Although CIS technology has steadily improved, it has not, until now, fully realized its potential. CCD, and more recently EMCCD, detectors have been the leading contenders for the majority of high-end imaging applications.

Fairchild Imaging has recently developed new Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) imaging technology delivering breakthrough performance rivaling the best CCD and electron multiplying imaging detectors. sCMOS senosrs, based on next-generation CIS design and fabrication techniques, are poised for widespread recognition as true scientific grade CIS detectors and capable of delivering quantitative results in the most challenging low-light imaging applications.

Unlike previous generations of CMOS and CCD-based sensors, sCMOS is uniquely capable of simultaneously offering:

• Extremely low noise,
• Rapid frame rates,
• Wide dynamic range,
• High quantum efficiency (QE),
• High resolution, and
• Large field of view.
